  NOTE: 12 seats reserved for first-year students, 12 for sophomores, and 8 for Classical Studies majors.
  Generally, this course is a study of the role of myth in society; particularly, the emphasis will be laid on the body of Greek myth and its relationship to literature and art. Readings within the area of classical literature will be wide and varied, with a view to elucidating what "myth" meant to the ancient Greeks. Whatever truths are discovered will be tested against the apparent attitudes of other societies, ancient and modern, toward myth. Lectures and discussion.

  An examination of building materials and methods used in the construction of domestic, civic, and religious buildings of the Greek and Roman worlds. Topics of discussion include ways in which functions of buildings influenced their forms; comparative studies of the works of individual architects; architectural adaptations to local topography; propaganda purposes of architecture; and ancient opinions and accounts of architecture, including selections from the works of Plautus, Vitruvius, and Pliny the Elder; and Latin inscriptions.

2987 CLCV-384-01 Democracy on Stage 1.00 SEM Litvin, Boris TR: 10:50AM-12:05PM TBA SOC  
  Enrollment limited to 19 Waitlist available: Y Mode of Instruction: In Person  
    Cross-listing: POLS-384-01
  This course investigates the relationship between stagecraft, representation, and collective agency in democratic life. Insofar as democracy aspires to maintain vibrant public conversations, this course considers how citizens are shaped by communal performances of myths, stories, and other manifestations of theater. How does theater cultivate democratic practices-and how might it perpetuate marginalization? Is there something theatrical at the core of democratic belonging? Investigating these questions, we turn to ancient Greek dramas, then place them into conversation with modern political theoretic debates about art and politics, and then consider recent transformations in stagecraft, focusing especially on social media and populism.

  An examination of the New Testament in the context of the first century C.E. to study the formation and themes of these early Christian writings. The course will stress the analysis of texts and discussion of their possible interpretations. How did the earliest writings about Jesus present him? Who was Paul? Is it more accurate to call him the founder of Christianity instead of Jesus? How do we understand Gospels that are not in the New Testament? We will attend to these and other social, political, and historical issues for studying the New Testament and Early Christianity.
